Last of the U.S. Army Christmas Carols[edit]

...Well, last of the ones worth nominating. There's a couple more which are in articles, but just not good enough for here. Also, I'll need to nominate That Endris Night (5 supp, 2 opp, closed as not promoted) again later, but I'm sure you don't want to see it again so soon.

Dormi, dormi, bel Bambin
Dormi, dormi, bel Bambin, a traditional Italian Christmas carol, performed by the U.S. Army Band Chorus.
c. 1875 – Il est né, le divin Enfant
Il est né, le divin Enfant, a French Christmas carol, Performed by the U.S. Army Band Chorus in a bilingual French-and-English version.
The third of these, A la Nanita Nana is withdrawn to simplify this nomination. See Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/A la Nanita Nana.
18th century – A la Nanita Nana
A la Nanita Nana, a Spanish Christmas carol, performed by the U.S. Army Band Chorus in Spanish and English.

Frankly, I think it's important we cover Christmas traditions outside of the English-speaking world. We're meant to educate, not regurgitate the user's pre-extant knowledge of Christmas. A la Nanita Nana is probably the weakest of the three performances, though I think it's still of a quite high standard. Articles'll need beefing up before they go on the main page, but, eh, there's foreign-language articles to use to that end, and these aren't going up anytime soon. =)

  • Nominate and support. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:18, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support these all sound like good representations of WPs finest.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:13, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support all I like the tenor and baritones in the first and the tune of the third is superb, the third is mediocre, I found the baritone to be a bit too dominant, he was the ONLY thing I could hear clearly, it didn't matter what the others were singing because the "la, la, la, la, la" etc. got monotonous and boring, he doesn't even have the melody :S —Ancient Apparition • Champagne? • 5:34pm • 07:34, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • You're right. And, what's more, you're right on something I know how to fix. I'll withdraw that one and move it to another nom. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Both sound great, and contribute significantly to the article they illustrate; but the articles are one-line stubs.... Major Bloodnok (talk) 07:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm assured the translation project will get to them eventually. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
